Sunrise @ Merlion Park / Esplanade - 14 December 2013

[shiosaki]

I have never done this before, so I thought I would try organising one

When?
Will be on this coming Saturday, 14th December at Merlion Park. We will meet directly at the spot itself (I will be taking the train, not sure where you can park if you drive) at 6.40AM. I will take 6 people for this time round and we see how it goes. If the weather is good, we can go over to Esplanade side for more shots.

Afterwards, we will go to somewhere with seats for the second part & breakfast.

What will be covered:
1. What to look out for during shooting
2. What settings to use (if I can figure out the camera you are using)
3. How to do post processing/blending

Of course, would be more than happy to learn stuff from you guys as well.

Things you need:
Tripod
Camera (preferably DSLR, with a wide angle lens or any camera that can go wide enough. would at least need 28mm on 35mm format for a decent shot)

And, I understand that the area has some cordoning because of the countdown to come. I will keep everyone updated, and if any changes will keep this thread updated as well (that is if there are participants)

Those interested can PM me. Limited seats so faster ah :bsmilie:

Some shots that you can expect from that spot

#1 if the weather is not that good, it might end up like that

#2 if the weather's better...

#3 turn around shot of the merlion, from the same spot

If you guys wanna get calm water before the merlion spit water, then try to be there before 6:30. About 6:20 will do. Too early also damn dark. Now sunrise still early so can shoot at 6:20.

Guys,

I thought u all going to post your picture here after using the darkroom, lightroom? Let me be the first one who post first ! Who is heading to the MBS later for cosplay?

Haha.

 

[blueblood]

Hi guys, really enjoy the whole morning. Especially to GX's unselfishness in sharing.
Here's my first attempt. I prefer the blue hour before the dawn light.
No lightroom edition, just adjust some colour in the jpeg.

Will be at the Cosplay around 2pm. Hope to see you guys.
